the SUNSHINE AWARD . . . was given to me by Teresa over at Affectionknit . . . and this orange flower and the gift of the award brought a bit of sunshine to my very windy, quite cloudy day.
1.Thank the blogger who nominated you. A BIG THANK YOU! to Teresa!
2. Answer the 10 questions on your favorite things.
3. Nominate 10 blogs to receive the Sunshine Award and let them know they've been nominated.
My list of favorites…
1. Favorite animal: our two chocolate labs, zoe and lola
2. Favorite number: 9
3. Favorite non-alcoholic drink: coffee. hands down.
4. Facebook or Twitter: a bit of facebook. though i'm pretty fed up with it. i keep checking in every few days, because there are a few specific people i really care to know the little (and big) updates in their lives. i think i'm mostly fed up with it because i liked it the old way. i really liked the simple old facebook (from about 5 years ago). i have a blog. i don't need my facebook page to take as much (or more) work than my blog does. i've never tried twitter. i don't think i will. i am on pintrest, though, and have used many of the recipes and ideas i have found there.
5. My passion: being who it is that God wants me to be, so i can best glorify Him.
6. Getting or giving: giving. for sure. though getting (especially little surprises in the mail) is pretty awesome, too.
7. Favorite Pattern: the cathedral window quilt. someday . . . someday i will make one . . .
8. Favorite day of the week: depends on the week . . . any day that ben and the kids and i are all home together is my favorite day.
9. Favorite flower: red dahlia
10. Favorite country: U.S.A. - my birthplace and home
i think i'm going to fall off the bandwagon on nominating 10 blogs. i'll tell you some that i like to read.
my so called life and other lies
